1.e4 {Notes by Pillsbury} e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bb5 Bb4
5.Nd5 {Formerly considered a strong move, but now proven
premature.} Be7 {Far better is the following continuation
5...Nxd5 6 exd5 e4 7 dxc6 dxc6 8 Be2 exf3 9 Bxf3 O-O 10 O-O
(See Schiffers and steinitz's game from this tournament.)}
6.d3 d6 7.O-O O-O 8.Nxf6+ { 8 Bxc6 bxc6 9 Nxe7+ Qxe7 10 Bg5
,would appear to give White a slight superiority ; Black would
find it difficult to dissolve the doubled Pawn, nor would he
obtain a satisfactory position by ...Bg4 11 h3 Bxf3 12 Qxf3
Qe6 13 Bxf6 Qxf6 14 Qxf6 gxf6 15 f4, with the better position
for the end game.} Bxf6 9.c3 Ne7 10.Ba4 Be6 11.Ng5 Bxg5
12.Bxg5 f6 13.Be3 f5 14.Bg5 h6 {{c6 was the correct move to
maintain the Pawn.} 15.Bb3 {An ingenious move, which should
have given White a superiority in material.} Bxb3 {If Qd7 16
Bxe6+ Qxe6 Bxe7 Qxe7 18 Qb3+ winning the b-pawn.} 16.Qxb3+ Kh7
17.Bxe7 Qxe7 18.exf5 {Just why White does not take the Pawn
with Queen is incomprehensible. After 18 Qxb7 f4(there seems
nothing more promising) 19 f3 Rab8 20 Qxa7 Rxb2 21 Rf2 White
appears to have a decided superiority.} c6 19.f4 Rxf5 {If
exf4, White obtains the better position by 20 Rae1} 20.fxe5
Rxe5 21.Qf7 Re8 22.Qxe7 R8xe7 23.d4 Re2 24.Rf2 Kg6 25.Kf1 R2e4
26.g3 a5 27.Kg2 Re1 28.Rxe1 Rxe1 29.Kf3 {A bad move; White
could have formed an easy drawing position by 29. h3 and
moving the King alternately to h2 and g2; his position
warranted no more than a draw. He should not have allowed the
adverse King to cross to the Queen's side.} Kf5 30.h3 h5 31.a3
g6 32.h4 b5 33.Kg2 Ke6 34.Kf3 {Black has certainly the far
better position, and the last move of White has given him a
clear winning position. After Kd5; 35 Kf4 Re4 36 Kf3 Re6,
White will be unable to prevent the adverse King reaching the
b3 square, and by the timely advance c5 Black will be enabled
to attack the Pawns on the Queen's side with the Rook, which
will obtain attacking entrance through the then opened
files. For instance, 37 Kg2 (If 37 b3 Re1 and attacking the
pawns in the rear) Kc4 38 Kf1 Kb3 39 Rd2 c5 40 dxc5 dxc5 41
Kf2 (if 41 Rd5 Kxb2 42 Rxc5 Rb6 and will win) Re5 42 Kf1 c4 43
Kf2 a4 44 Kf1 Re3 45 Kf2 Rd3 46 Re2 Rd1 with an easily won
game. Other variations also appear to win for Black.} 1/2-1/2
